Dr. Gilbert Doctorow discusses why the attack on Iran will harden Russia's position. Putin's approach of a slow war of attrition and diplomatic engagement with Trump has met increasing opposition, as the arguments advance for more aggressive alternatives to put a quick end to the war. The attempted decapitation strike on Iran has sent shockwaves through Moscow, as there are no more rules, and there is a belief that allowing the weakening of Russia's deterrence has become an existential threat.
